Chapter 76 Am I... already that strong?
On the grass, the crew-cut man cautiously stared at the young man opposite him.
"That tremor... just now?"
"Wait... a soft vibration?!"
Before he could think any further, the young man opposite him had already charged forward.
The fierce shockwave tinged with a faint red, distorting the surrounding air and making the whole person appear ethereal.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Ye exerted force with his feet, and a fierce whip kick swept towards the head of the crew-cut man.
The crew-cut man's eyes narrowed, and he pressed his body down, extending his arms like hydraulic clamps to wrench the whip leg.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the crew-cut man's expression suddenly changed.
"What terrifying power!"
Without any extraneous thoughts, the body reacts first.
The heavy weight slammed into the ground, and using his legs as a base, he suddenly pulled upwards, trying to throw Lin Ye away.
Lin Ye stepped onto his shoulder and slammed down with his knees.
The crew-cut man instinctively braced himself with his arms, his eyes widening instantly in disbelief at the terrifying force emanating from them.
In the next instant, he rolled backward, barely dodging the knee strike.
Lin Ye slowly stood up, glanced at his right leg, and looked at the man with some confusion.
"Such a weak tremor."
He hasn't even unleashed the full power of Zhen's malevolent energy.
The man was taken aback, then his face turned angry.
"You dare to humiliate me?"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp gust of wind swept in, followed by another sweeping kick that, carrying a shockwave, pierced the air like a steel bar.
"Thump—!"
The crew-cut man's body flew out and crashed into a large tree in the bushes.
With a cracking sound, the tree slowly fell, kicking up dust.
"Cough! Cough!"
Wow~~
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red, and braced himself on the ground, panting heavily.
On the other side, Lin Ye did not press his advantage, looking at his hands in disbelief.
"Am I... already that strong?"
Looking across, the crew-cut man trembled as he stood up, leaning on the broken wooden stake.
He glanced at Lin Ye, and without any hesitation, turned and ran, using the force of the impact to smash the grass flat.
But before he could take more than a few steps, a series of booming sounds came from behind him.
I couldn't help but turn around; dust and dirt flew everywhere, and grass and tree debris splattered.
A figure was covered by a layer of pale red, distorted air, making it look somewhat illusory.
It rolled over, its shockwave tearing through the dust and mist, rapidly approaching.
In an instant, he made a decision.
With a ferocious look on his face, he hardened his heart and stopped abruptly.
With a flick of his wrist, a black triangular dagger appeared in his hand.
Before he could react, the illusory figure had already arrived, and a terrifying shockwave came crashing down from above.
"Sizzle—!"
The sharp, black spikes sliced through the air, and with the added force of the shockwave, they encountered almost no wind resistance as they pierced the palm above.
"Ding!"
The sharp edges of the spikes struck the concentrated energy in Lin Ye's palm, producing a metallic clanging sound.
In the next instant, Lin Ye changed his palm into a claw and grabbed the three-edged thorn.
But then, the triangular dagger slipped from his hand and the dark light pierced his temple.
Lin Ye tilted his head to the side, and the sharp edge of the spike grazed the vibrating force near his ear.
? ? ? ! ! !
The crew-cut man's features were scrunched up, and his eyes no longer held disbelief, but terror.
How can it be so hard?!
"call out!"
A jab pierced the air, aiming for the lower edge of his right ribs, the shockwave concentrated at the tip of the fist.
He had no doubt that if this punch landed, even a stubborn rock would be shattered into dust!
Without the slightest hesitation, he discarded his weapon, flipped to the right, rolled twice on the ground, got up, and rushed towards Jiang Muyu.
If they can't fight back and can't escape, they have no choice but to take hostages to save their lives!
"Be careful!"
"Da da da!"
Ye Chu stood in front of Jiang Muyu and fired at the man.
But it had no effect; ordinary submachine guns posed no threat to a master of the 'earthquake' level.
The man moved swiftly, closing in on Jiang Muyu.
Just as he reached out, a sense of threat came from ahead, and he instinctively dodged to the side.
"null!"
A brass bullet grazed past, leaving a bloody gash on his shoulder.
"court death!"
The man frowned; how dare he resist?
After saying that, the man was less than ten meters away from Jiang Muyu.
With a single step forward and a palm pressed down, he could grab Jiang Muyu in just one second!
"boom--!"
A deafening roar came from above, and before he could even raise his head slightly, he was slammed down by a fierce black shadow.
"Click—"
The sound of bones breaking rang out, mixed with the sound of flesh tearing.
The crew-cut man didn't even utter a sound as he was pressed into the ground.
The splattered blood scattered everywhere, landing on Ye Chu and Jiang Muyu's faces.
Lin Ye slowly stood up, his tremor subsiding.
Looking at the figure in the ditch at my feet, it was already almost unrecognizable as human.
The entire upper body was flattened, with the skin edges showing torn threads, and bits of flesh scattered around, vaguely resembling a human shape.
Seeing this scene, he gained a deeper understanding of his own power.
The magnitude of the earthquake is already starting to seem inhuman.
"Did you...kill him?"
Jiang Muyu spoke blankly; she hadn't even reacted yet, and he'd already killed her?
Could the price she offered really hire such a top-tier expert?
Ye Chu's eyes widened in disbelief. He knew that Consultant Lin was strong, but he never imagined he could be this strong!
To kill a level 1 expert head-on—and that was a genuine level 1 expert!
No wonder Instructor Lei values him; he's a formidable figure on the same level as Instructor Lei.
Thank you, Manager Su, for giving me this opportunity to meet Consultant Lin.
He waved his hand, and the members of the combat team understood immediately.
He glanced at Lin Ye discreetly, a sense of awe creeping over him, and quickly tidied up the scene.
Lin Ye bent down, lifted the flat-headed man's corpse, and took off the moon wheel emblem.
After putting it away, his gaze fell on the man's corpse again.
With his current strength, ordinary masters at the Soft Vibration level are no match for him.
I just don't know how he compares to Brother Lei.
He pondered to himself that although the difference in punching power between him and Brother Lei was not significant at the moment, he was still somewhat inferior in actual combat.
After entering the realm of rigid earthquakes, the application of earthquakes reaches a new level, equivalent to System 2.0.
However, judging from his physical attributes, he may be able to rival Brother Lei's strength before he even completes the Soft Vibration Tempering and reaches the Hard Vibration level.
"Little brother, I really owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you, I would have been kidnapped and made a bandit's wife by them, sob sob sob."
Jiang Muyu thanked him, though her words were somewhat irreverent, she was still a little scared inside.
If she were arrested... she shuddered as she thought of the rumors about the Bai Yue family.
Lin Ye smiled when he heard Jiang Muyu's words.
"About that large tomb?"
Jiang Muyu did not refuse again, "Of course, with your abilities, little brother, it's no problem."
After saying that, she composed herself and looked at Lin Ye seriously.
"But little brother, I must remind you, that big tomb is not a place for sightseeing."
"If things go wrong, people could die, even experts at the earthquake level."
Lin Ye didn't speak, he just nodded.
Seeing this, Jiang Muyu didn't say anything more. "At the end of September, I have an antique auction in Coast City."
"Can I tell you the specific time to go into the tomb then?"
Lin Ye pondered for a moment, then decided to go to the Fulan Snowfield in northern Xilu in early September.
However, it shouldn't take more than half a month; the end of September should be plenty of time.
"Can."
......
The following afternoon, the convoy slowly drove into Tieqin City.
Lin Ye sat in the passenger seat of the heavy truck, observing the city.
The overall impression is a heavy, iron-gray color, which is quite in line with the impression given by the name "Iron Piano".
The vehicle stopped shortly afterward.
After getting off the car, Lin Ye looked at the huge building in front of him.
Although it is not tall, with only a dozen or so floors, it occupies a large area.
It doesn't look like a commercial building; it looks more like a stadium.
The huge stone pillar directly in front of them is inscribed with the words "Twilight Rain Auction House" in gold lettering.
"Come on, little brother, I'll take you to the warehouse and show you my treasured collection."
